Fantastic location, clean unit, but lacking some

We stayed mid-week, and the location to the beach is fantastic. One issue we had was the pool area seating. Right when the gates opened at 8am, hordes of mid 50’s moms would rush in and throw towels, bags, shoes, or whatever they could onto all of the pool side chairs, then run down to the beach and snag the closest beach umbrella, then go back to their units and then not be seen until nearly noon. During the day we were never able to get any chairs around the lower pool so that was kind of a bummer for the kids. If you don’t get one of the chairs provided, there is nowhere to sit, or put your things. Plenty of beach umbrellas though. You should know that the unit ONLY has cooking utensils and pots/pans. It has a coffee maker, but no coffee filters so you’ll have to buy them when you get there. It has an air mattress and fold-out sofa bed, but no extra linens so be sure to bring your own. Luckily we had blankets in our car from the drive, so my kids were okay. There are only 4 pillows in the whole unit, so bring extra if you need more. BBQ grills are kind of a far walk from this unit, so if you DO plan on cooking, plan accordingly, and remember you’ll need to buy or bring every ingredient down to the salt and pepper. You’ll need something to carry all your stuff in, as well. One half roll of paper towels was provided, so bring or buy extra. Also, there is no laundry detergent provided, but there is plenty of dishwasher detergent, so we didn’t have to buy any of that. Overall we will definitely be back, however we will probably find a different unit next summer.

We will definitely go back!!!

We loved our condo, view and the resort was fantastic! Our room was perfectly clean and well suited for our family of four. Could not be happier with the pools, beach, tiki bar and our surroundings! Very easy check-in, parking and convenient to grocery stores and restaurants. Definitely looking to go back and hope we can stay in the same room!!!

Great property and condo

It was our first time at Waterscape. It was our family of 3. Our little boy loved the pools and the ocean. Check in and check out were easy. You get wrist bands for the pool area. We made ours loose so we could slip on and off. The building is right across the street from AJ's Oyster Shanty and Old Bay Steamer. You are also in walking distance to several things like The Boardwalk and jet ski and boat rentals. Condo was spacious. Balcony overlooks pool area and you can see some of ocean and beach. Very clean. The couch pulls out. 2 bathrooms were great for our family, one had tub one was standup. Kitchen came with utensils, bowls, pots, pans etc. They provide towels and soaps. AC worked great and bed and pillows were comfortable. I was impressed with how quiet our room was. Convenient location, everything walkable. No wait on the elevator. They offer complimentary beach chairs and umbrella on the beach. You also get a card to get a free movie checked out at a time. DVD player in living area and bedroom. Had a great time. Would visit this condo again. Only prob was our DVD player with our TV in bedroom would load disc but couldn't read it. Tried several DVDs but the player could never load the DVD. Not a big deal - we just watched in living room. Hope this helps - have fun!
